A) Fabric porn. Love it. I feel paralyzed about buying fabric online. I am like… what is the drape like, the hand, the density of the weave? But once you buy from a line that you know is good, you can buy more confidently, like Fabric Finders, Timeless Treasures, Art Gallery, or Nashville Cottons.
Today we went Apple picking and passed by two very out of the way fabric shops. My husband was like, “no, not with the kids. Don’t hang your head out the window like a puppy dog panting after a bone.” I sniffed and said, “been there, unimpressed. Old lady quilting fabrics.” (Both times!) He was all, “We are 20 miles from the house, how have you been there?” I said, “I refuse to account for my sewing adventures.” He just laughed.
B) Nicooooolllllle, <whining> jump rope placket makes you feel like a rock star? Is it that hard? I am looking for contrasting fabric before I start mine in a brushed combed cotton. I don’t want hard. (Yeah, yeah, you know I will do it anyway.)
Our first week of fall was the best weather all summer, if that tells ya anything. Our trees are a month ahead. While pretty, it makes me fear the weather on Halloween night. I hate when it snows on Halloween. Ugh.
But I hope everyone in the Northern Hemisphere is enjoying their “Indian Summer” as we call it.
